Red is the 3rd film in the Three Colors trilogy. Blue is the first and White is the second.

Yeah, Red is the one to watch, provided you've already seen Blue and White.  Otherwise, the Siodmak film is pretty great.  Charles Laughton plus film noir equals good times.

Fixed and sorry. White is what I meant to write anyways. I watched Blue a few weeks ago and was impressed. I waited a couple of weeks to let the movie set in and now I may be ready to continue the trilogy.

Too little, too late.  I hate you now.

McCabe and Mrs. Miller ("But it's a Western! I usually don't like Westerns...")
The Fisher King ("But it's Robin Williams! I usually don't like Robin Williams...")
Beautiful Girls ("But can it really be as good as CSSchneider said it was?")
Hamlet - Mel Gibson version ("But it's Mel Gibson! He'll surely massacre my beloved Shakespeare!")

The Fisher King. You may be pleasantly surprised.

That Hamlet is actually pretty decent but The Fisher King is one of Gilliam's best.

McCabe and Mrs. Miller!  Don't think of it as a western, think of it as a film that uses Leonard Cohen on its soundtrack -- really well.
